About Me

My creativity began sitting beside my grandmother while she skillfully operated an old treadle powered sewing machine. Sewing and tailoring classes all through my school years eventually lead me to reupholstering furniture. After 35 years, I've retired and developed a less strenuous creative outlet.

Everything you see in my BeautifulBagsEtc shop is handmade by me personally in my home studio from the initial concept through completion. All of my handbags are sewn on an industrial sewing machine and a commercial embroidery machine. My main focus is creating one of a kind handbags.

I work with quality leathers and luxurious tapestries. I've built my reputation on quality craftsmanship and maintain that standard in creating each and every one of my purses. I have always been of the opinion that a person should do at least one thing very well.
